Dear Editor,
I note that in the vacancy advertisement from the Teaching Service Commission in the Sunday Stabroek of January 29 there are three closing dates for the receipt of the original application forms: Friday, March 09, 2012 for receipt by the Head of the Department of Education; Friday, March 09, 2012 for receipt by Central Ministry; and Friday, April 13, 2012 for receipt by the Teaching Service Commission itself.
The second-named deadline is incorrect.
Not even in Georgetown can all original applications that reach the Head of the Department of Education by Friday, March 09, 2012 be processed and sent on to reach central ministry by Friday, March 09, 2012.
I need not mention the dilemma that would face the Head of the Department of Education in Region 9.
I presume that officials of the Guyana Teachers Union (and teachers generally) are reading the advertisement and will draw to the attention of the Teaching Service Commission any infelicities they find.
Yours faithfully,
George N Cave
